The Sunday Sit

We also plan community events, including movie nights, summer BBQ’s, field trips, and hikes. Sits are guided by experienced InsightLA teachers: Wendy Block, Cayce Howe, Rosamaria Segura, JD Lloyd, Brad Gibson and David Le. In addition, guest teachers visit year round. Everyone is welcome!
